The instructors
Do you see dancers or artistic athletes in your clinic?
These athletes can be challenging to assess and treat due to their available range of motion, hypermobile movement patterns, and training schedules.
Come learn how to better manage your artistic athletes with Dinah Hampson & Geneviève Renaud, physiotherapists and co-founders of Pivot Dancer, a knowledge-sharing platform that aims to provide evidence-based content to the dance community.
Join us for a free 60-minute live webinar on Thursday, May 7th, to learn clinical pearls when working with the dancer community and for an open Q&A session with Dinah and Gen. Bring your questions! All who attend the live webinar will receive a discount code for the “Rehabilitation for dancers” resource package bundle!
This bundle includes 97 professional quality exercise videos you can use in Embodia with verbal cues used by dance medicine experts to help improve proprioception and body awareness for your patients. These resource packages are available in English and French.
